Home Preparedness: a method for preparing your family to meet emergencies. Study this handbook at home with your children. Using the survival knowledge contained herein, decide upon the specific actions to deter or recover from any emergency. But, solve one potential problem at a time, building upon the foundation of home storage of water, food, and critical supplies. Get your family together for a few minutes every week to discuss one life threatening situation and the countermeasures suggested herein. Adults and teenagers should put together a tobacco-pouch survival kit, and practice using it on camping trips. Simulated fire drills and other situation drills are excellent in teaehing children how to respond to a par-ticular threat. And the entire family should take at least one week to simulate living in a radiation shelter on emergency supplies. Make the situation as real as possible, and keep notes on problems and deficiencies of critical supplies. If the real thing happens, you will not be able to get what you need at the store. Above all else, you should build the habit of being successful in whatever you do. This will improve your chances of survival because it builds courage and confidence.
